What makes it to the greatest page is by no means a gauge of what is important. Currently the photo contest is on the greatest page do you really think that means it is important?

And again there have been several posts about the fires. Just because you didn't see them does not mean there haven't been any.

I get that right now you are personally affected by this and I hope that your friends and family find relief. There is never a lack of horrible stuff happening around the world it is difficult to focus on any tragedy for very long as there are so many of them.

BTW there is nothing stopping you from posting about the fires with some inside info instead of ranting at DU because you didn't see posts that have and continue to be made about the fires.
